*Returns less than one year are not annualized.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Please call 800.826.2333 or visit vaneck.com for performance current to the most recent month ended.

The "Net Asset Value" (NAV) of a Fund is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF 's intraday trading value. Investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.

The MSCI ACWI ex USA Index is a market capitalization weighted index representing the global equity markets excluding the United States. MOTI’s exposures may differ from the MSCI ACWI ex USA due to rebalancing by its underlying index, the Morningstar® Global ex-US Moat Focus Index. Investors cannot invest directly in the Index.
